[Blindtlk] Blind empowerment

[Jude DaShiell]

First, it helps lots to live life with a purpose and for at least one 
reason.  Our empowerment arrives when we join with others who have a 
common purpose.  Then arguments will continue to happen but those 
arguments will only be about the best way to do something not whether or 
not to do something.  When arguments are always about whether or not to 
do something you're not arguing with someone with a common purpose and 
it's time to agree to disagree and move on.
